Macauley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2018 - 750ml

94pts Wine Spectator  Densely packed, with crushed plum, blackberry and black currant paste flavors that meld nicely together, set against a backdrop of roasted apple wood and tobacco. Features a late loamy hint that keeps it grounded. Rock-solid. Best from 2023 through 2035. 250 cases made. 92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a 225-case effort blended from several locations in Napa Valley. Bold cassis fruit comes in waves, backed by ample vanilla notes. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, but it seems to lose a bit of momentum on the finish, the flavors falling away before the lasting warmth of elevated alcohol. Drink it young, before the fruit fades.
